the problem is of course, finding willing participants after the novelty or newness wears off.

I support anything that creates Non-Jedi player bounties.

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.

"Yea, that is why I added the 10% collateral charge that the BH must pay for taking the mission. If the BHattacks the mark and loses, the Mark gets the 10% Collateral. Do that a few times and it is a good sum of money."


Wait a second... the BH has to pay to take the mission? Doesn't that sort of go against the idea of bounty hunting? Plus, even if the bounty was 100k, the mark would only get 10k. You can get that kind of money quicker and far, far safer by pulling a mission off a term somewhere and going out and doing it.

What the crap?



Guess I should read a post before I agree to it



I like my Smuggler revampidea better, it gives us non-Jedi player bounties, creates a criminal underworld, and makes smugglers smugglers.



(Search my posts if your interested, it was a while back and I'm too lazy)

I love the put up 10% of bounty first idea, would make bounty hunters have to consider taking the high end ones.


maybe as incentive to get on terms once you db'd the bh an npc corpse with their name stayed there even after they cloned and you could loot it and it'd have same loot drop as the high end NPC bounties? like bh armour schematic etc

The 10% thing doesn't make any sense.


"Alright, you're going to pay me for doing a job, but I'm going to pay you to let me do a job, at the conclusion of which you are going to pay me..." doesn't make any sense in SWG.

put up collatoral


this is smuggling but dont you think jabba wished he'dhad han solo put a lil money up front when he took that spice shipment? Maybe your employer would like you to pay a little up frontto insure you're persuaded to do things right.


EDIT word collatoral doesnt really work here

No other mission in SWG works that way.

So you're saying that any mission where you hunt players should have a charge on it, but other missions shouldn't... but why?


(Also, Imperials get Imp Banners.)

im saying PERSONALLY i think a mission on players you should have a deposit to help prevent just any idiot grabbing missions at random hoping to get lucky and find someone AFK...only ones grabbing missions would be those serious about it and actually willing to take the risk of losing something in exchange for much greater gain
